Hi
Since your wife has already filed for divorce and that you are also willing to consent for the divorce and that you have returned all your wife's ornaments, your wife should ideally not be greedy.
So you can also file a counter stating that you are also inclined for divorce and that you have returned all her jewellery and as such she is not entitled for any other monies whatsoever. Family court judges in general will grant divorce to both the parties without reviewing any financial considerations etc.

If you are able to pay then go ahead and clear the matter lead peaceful life. Go for mutual divorce which is easy and tension free. How long you have been married? While returning her items take it in writing to avoid further complication.

If you both have agreed for a mutual consent divorce then sometimes regarding alimony amount your wife has right to claim the amount speak with her and try to explain your inability to pay such amount as demanded by her and settle the issue of separation through mutual consent divorce.
